Welcome to the ILC - Integrated Learning Community

The Bo'ness ILC is one of eight Integrated Community Schools which have been set up across Falkirk District. The main aim of the ILC is to improve the attainment and achievement of all young people within their communities and to encourage social inclusion. The child is at the centre of this service with work focusing on the pupil and his or her family. Barriers to learning and the needs of the child are addressed through an integrated multi-agency approach. A range of professionals including teachers, Social Workers, Family Workers, Health Care Professionals, Police and others work together to try to meet the needs of the young people and their families.

how the ILC works

The present Bo'ness team has been gradually built up since February 2004 and is based in Bo'ness Academy. This team serves local nurseries, all 5 primary schools and the Academy. The well being of every child is their central aim. The team aims to give a speedy response to all referrals. They hope to empower young people and families that they work with, building on their strengths and encouraging them to make positive choices.

Our Vision

We want every child and young person to have an enjoyable fulfilling life in a nurturing, healthy and safe environment. We will encourage children and young people to work to their potential and make a positive contribution to society.
